Article 6: Every child 👶 has the right to life.
For the next two weeks, we will be looking at Article 6. See above.
The rest of this article states:
Governments must do all they can to ensure that children survive and develop to their full potential.
Wow! This is a big statement and it can be very difficult for us to understand.
I am going to help you by giving you some ways governments can help. Your teacher will discuss some of the strategies with you, depending on your age.
Children must have:
Care, protection and nurture from adults,
Nutritious food and water.
The chance to become independent as they get older.
Exercise and sleep.
A clean ,safe environment .
Quality education and a chance to play.
Safety, security and respect.
Health care- to see a doctor 👩⚕️ or nurse 👨⚕️ when you need to and to be vaccinated against diseases.
All of their rights!!!
What a lot of discuss! Can you think of situations where children are denied the rights contained within this article?
Following your discussion, there are some tasks for you to do.
FS- Draw a picture of three adults who help you. There is a template provided.
KS1- Think about the importance of eating healthily. Complete the attached word search.
